Our Gen 2 volume dial protection for the Baofeng UV-5R radio is finally here; after over 4 years of use in environments all over the world we have culminated data that results in a refined radio lock to provide an even more effective solution to prevent unintentional manipulation of the volume dial.
The Gen 2 Volume Lock provides an enhanced geometry over the Gen 1 creating a better fit on the k**b and increased purchase for easier use with gloved hands, while shortening the tail of the lock to decrease interaction with mic leads.
Our most heard complaint in the Gen 1 was the inability to remove the lock by grabbing it and pulling vertically as the k**b may become stuck. This is no longer an issue with the added finger hole in the top of the device which aids in handling as well as allows the user to push through the hole to assist in removing the device vertically from the radio.
Best of all, we are offering the STL file right away so those of you with your own printers can print them in whatever color or material you'd like.
